I was working in the bush, and tore a ligament off the bone really badly (surgically reattached). Even though the X-rays apparently didn't show anything physically wrong, something was definitely busted or out of place, because after a month or so of physio, my ankle was completely loosened up but the range of motion in one direction stops abruptly with a clunk. I suggest going to physio to really figure out exactly what's happening with your range of motion, and make sure that it's something that will repair itself over time.

My ROM is restricted enough that I can't physically run, so most sports are out of the question.
